essenced. On my word, sitting at table with two score of beards wagging, had an odd effect upon me; one time I was seized with an invincible inclination to laugh-at another, to believe myself in such banquetting scenes as old books and pictures tell of.

Enfantin, the chief, is hugely admired. He struck me as a model of that once admired but

now exploded being, the Irish chairman. He is a lubberly, broad-shouldered fellow, and cuts a singular figure. Enfantin has a bronzed, dull, handsome countenance, "aussi animal qu'un homme peut être," observed a lady; and the sex may be allowed to pronounce judgment in these matters. From my observation, I can only assert, that he is superlatively bête, and incapable of any other fanaticism than vanity. Upon some question as to the viands at table, he replied,

"We each live the life of proletaires at present, never expending more than twenty-five sous a day. I like the idea of an essenced gentleman, in superfine cloth, and a cashmere shawl round his neck, saying that he led the life of a workman at a shilling a day. On the breast of Enfantin's white tunic was embroidered the words Le Père. I scarcely dare to write, though I certainly remarked that this audacious fool endeavoured to imitate, in dress, and aspect, and affected suavity of manner, the traditional portraits and descriptions of the Saviour.

Yet there are clever men amongst the St. Simonians who swear by this presumptuous fool. Barrault, for example, was a professor of considerable talent, who, though married, gave up his situation and prospects, to enroll himself amongst the community. The ten chief members have contributed about 4000l. a piece, which is the utmost of their means. The most

singular convert amongst these is Fournel, an old élève of the Polytechnic school, and a man who was at the head of the iron mines of Creugot, the most considerable in France. He has sacrificed a full 1000l. a year, besides 4000l. to the society. On their trial, great stress was laid by them upon the conversion of this Fournel, a man of science, of habits positive rather than imaginative,—to use their terms, a man from nature and profession cold, calculating, and reserved. The assumption upon which this argument was founded, is, perhaps, > entirely false; I doubt much, if it requires heat either of temperament or imagination, to become a fanatic. Personal vanity seemed to me the all-absorbing idea of Fournel, as of Enfantin. The latter, by the bye, was caissier, or treasurer of the Caisse Hypothecaire, a man of waste-book and ledger.-The last place where we should have looked for a self-announced prophet, is certainly the stool of a counting-house.

Duveyrier is another eminent member of the society. He is the most eloquent, and the truest fanatic. For Barrault, though he speaks well, is but a rhetorician. He has very little common sense or judgment, however, since it was his glowing eulogium upon the virtue, or at least the harmlessness, of carnal pleasures, that elicited from the jury a condemnation of a year's imprisonment. It was Duveyrier who headed the unsuccessful mission to England.

The most talented professor now lecturing in Paris is decidedly Lerminier. He was altogether a convert to the St. Simonians at one time, and was only preserved from "taking the frock" by his friends, who, perforce, packed him off to Italy. A short tour there brought him to his senses. We had hoped, that these gentlemen would expound their doctrine, and so they did; for a dandy next me, explained very fully the different colours of their gay shawls, and gave the particular reasons why each was worn. The tricolor they chiefly affect; why, think you?-in that it represents science, industry, and arts. The three colours should predominate in their dress. On asking why

they did not, I was answered, that the trousers, hitherto white, are destined to be red, as soon as there are funds or credit for the purchase. Such are some of the serious dogmas of the St. Simonians.

After dinner, at least, thought we, there will be a preachment. No such thing. Our frocked and shawled companions descended to the dancing-garden, (a White Conduit House affair, bating the cleanliness) and there went through country dances with the easy damsels of the boulevard. In disgust and disappointment we departed.

VISIT TO OLYMPIA IN THE SUMMER OF 1832. DURING Professor Thiersch's recent mission

into Greece, on the part of the Bavarian government, this eminent scholar never lost sight of its classical attractions, and he has brought back with him a variety of notes, of one of which, the subsequent account of Olympia, whose very name recalls all the faded glories of Hellas, is a concise abstract.

After riding about three miles across the plain, the travellers followed the course of the Alpheus, which, at this spot, is one hundred and twentyfive paces in breadth, and varies from two to five feet in depth; and, after gaining the acclivity of the mountains which lie on its right bank, they reached a district, where two spacious and fertile vallies meet in front of a conical hill. Here once stood Olympia; and that hill is

the identical hill of Kronos, on which Pindar has conferred immortality. As the evening was closing in, Thiersch and his companions lost no time in making for the miserable hamlet, Misaka, which lies on an eminence to the left; here, however, they found the cabins so full of vermin, that they were compelled to take up their quarters for the night on the site of an ancient temple. Thiersch reports, that, of all the splendid range of edifices which once adorned Olympia, there is not one that can be recognized with any degree of certainty, excepting the temple of Jupiter; this the French very carefully laid open through its whole extent, and were thus enabled to ascertain, that the remains agree in

every particular with the description given by Pausanias. The black pavement in the interior, close to the colossal statue of the god,

and the channel, through which the oil was conducted, as it flowed from the statue, are still visible. The ruins, which are found above ground, belong to the times of the Romans. The principal buildings and appurtenances of what was called the dog-namely, the Heraum, Metroon, treasuries, and Stadium, lay around the Kronic hill, which is connected by a low, natural causeway, with the heights north of it: through this causeway was dug the hidden communication between the treasuries and the Stadium.

Thiersch discovered obvious traces of those treasuries, on a double terrace at the northern and western feet of the Kronion, and recognized the site of the Stadium in the valley which lies between the Kronion and an eminence to the east of it. It will be recollected, that Pausanias speaks of a many-voiced echo, as existing on the spot where the greater portion of the halls and buildings of Olympia were thronged closest together this echo has naturally disappeared with the structures from which it arose; but the name of Antilalos, (the reverberating,) clings to the spot to this day.

OUR WEEKLY GOSSIP ON LITERATURE

AND ART.

WE are glad to see by the Scotch papers that the creditors of Sir Walter Scott have, contrary to the predictions of one of our London journals, met his executors in a spirit of moderation and equity, and accepted as payment the identical sum for which, in the year 1826, he became bound. In England also, something equally pleasant deserves to be made known. Sir Herbert Taylor has, by command of His Majesty, written a very kind letter to the present Sir Walter Scott, informing him, that a pension of two hundred a year has been granted to Miss Scott from the Civil List; and as this, we believe, required the concurrence of his ministers, we may consider it as secured to her for life.

Mr. John Galt is, as all the world knows, a man of genius: his works sell well, and people read and praise them: it would appear, however, that they fail to go so quickly off as his publisher desires, and something was required to be done to quicken the motion of what was already moving. Now, Mr. Galt was some time since taken ill, but, bating an occasional rack and wrench of rheumatism, had recovered. This, however, if not unwelcome, was inopportune. Lawrie Todd' demanded a fresh impulse in the market, and this was accomplished by a paragraph which ran through all the papers, saying the author of Lawrie Todd' was ill-dangerously ill. The public put on a look of sorrow, and his personal friends began to think of crape, when another paragraph saved all further effusion of tears, by informing them, that the gifted author was hale and well, and had penned an introduction, humorous, sly, and so forth, for the new edition of that most admirable work. We need not point out the source of this puffery, which must be unpleasant enough to a man of genius.

On Monday last, Stanfield and Geddes demy: the first is well known by many were elected Associates of the Royal Acaand the public will rejoice with his friends beautiful scenes of reality and imagination: at the honour so deservedly conferred on him;-the latter has long been a favourite in Scotland, though little known here. There is one Elias Martin, who has stood some sixty years and odd at the top of the list of Associates: we would advise the Academy to strike out the dead man at the next elec

tion, and put a living Martin in his place: they owe it to genius and to themselves to

do this.

Prout, we see, proposes to publish, by subscription, a volume of folio engravings, of the chief architectural and picturesque subjects in Flanders. They are, for we have seen some of them,-on grey paper, and touched with white, so as to look like facsimiles of the original drawings: all who know the fidelity and force of Prout's pencil will encourage him in an undertaking which promises to be beneficial to architects, as well as acceptable to people of taste.

A weekly Conversazione is, we hear, about to be established by men of science, in which, besides the oral discussion of interesting subjects, papers are to be read relating to theoretical or practical science or manufactures. The meetings are to be held weekly during the season; and the Directors of the National Gallery of Practical Science, Adelaide Street, have offered their rooms for the purpose.

SCIENTIFIC AND LITERARY

ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE.

THE Society held its first meeting on Wednesday, the 7th instant.

A paper by Dr. Uwins was read, 'On the Connexion between Poetic Taste and Moral Sentiment. The principle, that profound moral feeling is essential to poetic power, was ingeniously maintained, and ably illustrated by the writer; and the inference deduced, that the cultivation and sublimation of the taste ought to form a leading object in education.

Various donations of books were announced, in particular from Nath. Ogle, Esq., and Professor Boeckh.

LINNEAN SOCIETY.

THE first meeting of the season was held on Tuesday: A. B. Lambert, Esq., in the chair.After some routine business, the chairman communicated to the meeting the valuable and liberal present the Society had received from the Hon. East India Company, consisting of all the immense botanical collections formed by the various distinguished men who had been engaged for years past, exploring the treasures of India in this branch of Natural History, under the influence and patronage of the Company. This collection alone contains about 8,000 species, including from seven to ten examples of each species, from different localities. A liberal subscription was made to defray the expense incurred for appropriate cabinets, in which the collection is already deposited, and a committee appointed to give effect to this magnificent present, and make it available for the general advancement of botanical science. This great addition to the previous possessions of the Society renders the whole collection equal, if not superior, to that of any other Society in Europe. Several members present supported a second subscription, towards erecting a monument in the Jardin des Plantes, to the memory of Baron Cuvier.-The donations in books, accumulated during the recess, were numerous and valuable, and the reading of a botanical paper, concluded the business of the evening.

GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

Nov. 7.-This being the first evening of the session, the Society assembled at their apartments in Somerset House,-Roderick Impey Murchison, Esq., President, in the chair.

The following gentlemen were elected Fellows: Woodbine Parish, jun., Esq., F.R.S.; Henry Trollope, Esq., of Harrow; Whitlock Nichol, M.D., F.R.S., and Herbert Mayo, Esq., Professor of Anatomy in King's College, London. A communication was first read from Mr. Henwood, F.G.S., On the intersection of veins in Cornwall, and on the changes which have been observed in the position and directions of veins, when traversed by cross courses.

A paper by the Rev. James Yates, F.G.S., was then read, On a submarine forest on the

coast of Cardiganshire and Merionethshire, and extending for a considerable distance north and

south of the River Dovey. In the course of

the memoir, it was shown, that the Scotch fir constituted formerly extensive forests in many parts of the kingdom; and that the period of its ceasing to be a member of the English Flora, was about the middle of the seventeenth century. A third memoir, On the Geology of the Northwest of Mayo and Sligo, by the Venerable Archdeacon Verschoyle, was commenced.

The tables were covered with numerous donations to the Museums and Library.

HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Nov. 6.-A letter was read which had been received from Peter Kendall, Esq. F.H.S. re

specting the employment of cats in the preservation of fruit trees, from the attacks of birds. It stated that the practice had been found very successful for several years, especially as regarded wall trees, and gooseberry and currant bushes; the cats being tethered by a light THURS. chain to a stake, or suffered to range by means of a ring on an iron rod.

The principal articles exhibited were a green St. Vincent pine-apple, the produce of a sucker planted in the autumn of 1830, from Sir Rowland Hill's garden-Black Hamburgh and white Muscadine grapes, from John Allnut, Esq. both from a vinery, and from the open wallCactus truncatus and a most beautiful collection

of passion flowers, from Mrs. Marryat-specimens of the different varieties of grapes which furnish the Rhenish wines, and a large number of the best and handsomest sorts of apples and pears, from the Society's garden.

The 4th of December was announced as the next day of meeting.

Seven gentlemen were elected Fellows of the Society.

PHRENOLOGICAL SOCIETY.

THE first meeting of the eighth session of this Society, was held in Panton Square, on Monday last,-Dr. Elliotson, F.R.S., President, in the chair.-Previous to the paper being read, the President briefly addressed the meeting, on the present state of the Society, and on the science of Phrenology generally. He announced, as a proof of its continued progress, that three courses of lectures on Phrenology were, at the present time, being delivered in the metropolis-namely, at the London Institution, the London Hospital, and at Mr. Grainger's Anatomical Theatre, in the Borough, in addition to a Phrenological

class at the Mechanics' Institution. He also stated, that he had himself, for some time past, lectured phrenologically on Insanity, at St. Thomas's Hospital, taking the works of Gall and Spurzheim for his text books. Dr. Elliotson then called the attention of the Society to a paper, by the Marquis de Moscati, which he subsequently read, being The History and Conversion of an Anti-phrenologist.' Dr. Elliotson mentioned incidentally, that the Marquis was acquainted with thirty-six different languages, twenty of which he was able to converse in freely.

FINE ARTS

ARTISTS AND AMATEURS' CONVERSAZIONE. THE first meeting of this agreeable Society, took place on Wednesday, at the Freemason's Tavern-and we were pleased to find, that, unlike first meetings generally, it was numerously attended, and well supplied with interesting objects of art. The father of the lamented Bonington contributed some charming drawings by his son, lately brought from Paris to this country. Nor less did we admire some of the able works of the clever Liverseege-another of our artists, who, like Harlow and Bonington, died just as his talents were ripening, and the world began to appreciate their merit. One of his pictures-a man holding a hawk in the pre sence of a lovely female-for beauty of compo sition and delicacy of colouring, was inferior only to the most perfect productions of Terburg

there were some six others from his hand, sent up, we understood, from Manchester, (where his works are mostly to be found,) to be engraved in the work now in progress, from the best efforts of his pencil.

The original drawing by Chalons of the head of Flora M'Ivor, the engraving of which is to be seen in every print-shop, charmed us much; as did also some fairy sketches by Mr. Parris, done in illustration of the new work from the pen of Mr. Lytton Bulwer; or rather, we believe, the new volume of the Continental Annual,' edited by Mr. Bulwer. There were many fine specimens of our modern water-colour painters

those from the pencils of Hart, Cattermole, Rippingale, and Stanfield, chiefly interested us. Nor must we omit to notice a very admirable bust (taken just before his death) of Sir James Macintosh, from the hands of Mr. Behnes Burlowe. The plates for the new number of Mr. Robinson's Vitruvius Britannicus of Hatfield House, must be also mentioned, produced by the elaborate needle of Mr. Shaw: it will, indeed, be a very interesting portion of this superb work. This meeting gave a pleasant assurance that the interests of the Society have not been forgotten by the members, since the last meeting.

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

On Saturday evening last Mr. Malyer read a paper, On the Influence Early Labour has in Checking the due Developement of the Human Constitution.' The author, who has had considerable experience in the cotton manufacturing Portrait of Sir Walter Scott. Effingham Wilson. districts, introduced the question in connexion with the system there adopted. He drew a most appalling picture of the condition of the poor children employed in those mills;-described the degree of labour they were subject to, and the polluted atmosphere they breathed, as likely to check the natural growth of the body, engender disease, and destroy the ener gies of the constitution. The author further

strengthened his position, by referring to pub

lished tables, showing the average number of early deaths to be nearly two-thirds greater in those districts than in the agricultural counties, result of tubercular or scrofulous diseases. After and stated such mortality to be principally the an animated discussion, the consideration of the subject was adjourned till the next meeting, the author hoping the opinions of the members of this Society might influence the conduct of the manufacturers, and bear to a certain extent on

the provisions of a bill introduced into parliament by Mr. Sadler, in connexion. with this question, called 'The Ten Hours Factory Bill.'

THIS is the last likeness taken of the great author of Waverley; it is dated Naples, 16th of April, 1832. There is no doubt that Scott was unaware of its being made, and that it was stolen at a venture, by some needy artist, from the illustrious invalid. It bears all the marks of haste, and, moreover, of ignorance of the countenance and peculiar expression of Scott: there ciency of character about the mouth, and the nose is a want of penetration in the eye, and a defiis lumpish and large.

chord of F, which is the dominant to the key | (B flat), we are reminded of an error we have noticed for years in the singing of Braham, which is most offensive to a cultivated ear-viz. after suspending the octave to the dominant bass, he invariably descends to the key-note by the third of the tonic harmony, whilst the former harmony remains not resolved! It is the less excusable when written, as in this instance, at the close of the first verse.

The part of Stefano is so ill drawn, and so inconsistent, that no actor could venture to throw himself earnestly into any one of the feelings assigned it, because he could hardly do so before it would be time to change to an opposite one. Mr. Forester had a very slight partthat of a butterfly Marquis about the court; he did his best with it, but he should not go to battle in a helmet, cuirass, and silk stockings, with pumps.

A piece, described as a "new original drama," in three acts, and under the title of The Dark Diamond,' was produced here on Monday last. It is by no means a diamond of the first water. It is, in truth, a sad affair. The authorship was attributed to a gentleman who has denied it. We congratulate him on having had it in his power to do so. We have no idea upon what principle the word "original" was applied to this production. "Translation" is the "common cry" of newspapers, and managers of theatres, taking their cue from that, are rather too apt to designate everything as "original," which is not avowedly or evidently some French piece rendered into English. It has fallen to our lot to see many acknowledged translations with far more of originality about them than this "original"-but it has seldom if ever happened, that we have met with a soi-disant original, which had less pretension to the designation it had assumed. In the first place, we have a general objection to brigands, and their exploits, as foundations for dramas. Mr. Planché, in his clever and interesting piece, which was most properly called The Brigand,' par excellence, has wound up the question-and had, we hoped, set it at rest; but it appears that as dramatic authors can never let well alone, it was considered that he had wound up the subject, like a watch, that it might go on; and we have, accordingly, since had an inundation of banditti pieces of every nation which produces the article. The present original" is made up of inelegant extracts from the melo-drames of the Surrey and Coburg theatres, without the "terrific combats" which, at those places, force one to take a momentary interest in them. The language, without being bad, is essentially undramatic-and in the lighter portions of the dialogue we have Shakspeareall but the point. There is not life enough about the Dark Diamond' to make it worth while to detail the plot, which the author has re-tailed. The loves the hatreds-the jealousies and the revenges of two chiefs of banditti are tacked on, somewhat unskilfully, to a mutilated portion of French history, and Francis the First is introduced in order to be exhibited as he was not. He is made to bear insults and humiliations, which he never would have borne, and never did bear, simply because Mr. Butler's part of Stefano Diamante must be a better one than Mr. Bennett's one of Francis the First; and the manner in which Francis is treated after his capture at the battle of Pavia, is much more like what it would have been if he had been

ley's part had Mr. Keeley and nothing else in it. Miss Ellen Tree exerted herself greatly and loyally-but for her, the piece would have gone -to pieces. Miss Shirreff walked about the stage, and stopped when it was her time to sing. She was in good voice, notwithstanding a little indication of cold, and sang with her usual taste and correctness. Miss H. Cawse was, of course, clever and pleasing. We cannot praise the music-it was not appropriate, and it was noisy awfully noisy. We should have been glad to have been excused all this grumbling, but we hold a brief, and justice must be done to our client. We praise with much more heart and much more pleasure than we blame.

ADELPHI THEATRE.

WE have not time to say more than that a piece has been produced here called Henriette the Forsaken,' and that it has made a decided and well deserved hit. We shall probably return to the subject next week: in the mean time be it observed that it is equally good in its serious and its comic parts-that all concerned act well in it-and that Mrs. Yates is admirable. We will not say that her acting is beyond praise, but it would be very difficult for praise to go beyond her acting.

Russian Annual.-The first publication of an Annual, has just taken place at St. Petersburgh. It is in German, and is ornamented with several attractive plates, amongst which are a representation of the gigantic Alexandrine Column, lately erected in the Russian metropolis, a view of Kuero, in Finland, a Finland Woman in her national costume, and views of Adrianople and the Mosque of Sultan Selim in that city.

Bavaro-Grecian Medal.-On the occasion of Prince Otho's accession to the infant throne of Greece, the Munich Mint has issued a dollar of the Empire, which bears on its face the protecting deity of Greece, presenting the Hellenic Crown to the young monarch. The subject is encompassed with the legend, "Otho, Prince of Bavaria, first King of Greece." On the reverse, is a bust of his royal parent, the Sovereign of Bavaria, with the words, "Lewis I., King of Bavaria," encircling it.

Monument to Gutenberg.-The Committee at Mayence, for erecting this monument, of which

we have rendered some account in former numbers, made a second report of contributions on the 23rd of last month. It appears that, up to that date, a sum of 6360 guilders (about 6401.) had been raised, of which 3501. had been collected in Mayence itself, and 71. had been received from Moscow: but we do not find that any subscriptions had been received either from France or England, the two countries which stand fully as much indebted for their intellectual pre-eminence to the invention of the noble art of printing, as Germany itself. The celebrated Thorwaldsen has advised the erection of a statue of bronze, and undertaken the execution of it.

Great Canal of Goetha.-This magnificent water-line, which passes through the heart of Sweden, and unites the North Sea and the Baltic, was opened with great solemnities on the 26th of September last. It will admit vessels drawing nine feet and a half water, and two and twenty feet in width; and they may make the passage into the Baltic in eight days, with the aid of steam-boats across the lakes which occur on its line. It has been two-andtwenty years in construction, and costs rather more than 10,430,000 dollars (1,285,000l.,) of which 6,378,334 dollars, were contributed by the state.

Dreadful Calamity.-We direct attention to an advertisement thus headed in this day's paper: the account is truly awful, and in the belief that every channel of publicity ought to be open to the sufferers, we have thought it right, without waiting for any communciation from the committee, to insert the advertisemen at once, and free of all charge.

Death of Sir John Leslie.-We regret to announce the death of Professor Sir John Leslie, who expired on Saturday afternoon, after a very short illness, at his seat of Coates, in Fife. We have not heard what was the particular cause of his death: he had been for some time afflicted with a complaint in the leg, but the disease that carried him off so suddenly we have understood to have been an affection of the heart. Dr. Thomson was sent for by express from Edinburgh, but before he reached Coates Sir John was no more.-Edinburgh Advertiser.

Mrs. Trollope.We copy the following from the Philadelphia Gazette:-"Messrs. Childs & Inman have well nigh immortalized Mrs. Trollope, by a lithographic plate, which includes the entire family of that distinguished lady,-not even excepting the Italian artist-the modern Claude -who belonged to her suite. The group in the picture consists of Mrs. Trollope, and two for. lorn, but fat looking daughters; just such spinsters as a father would contemplate without a hope that they ever could attract anybody into the perpetration of matrimony. The old man and the green son of Mrs. Trollope are also present; the latter engaged in those halcyon sports, in which vacant jourenals of his cast so much delight. Altogether, the plate is a most amusing one." Further from a Boston paper, we learn that "the Kentuckians, duly impressed by Mrs. Trollope's censure, have changed the phrase which she stigmatises as vulgar, going the whole hog,' into the more classical expression, going the entire swine."-When we gave the extracts from this lady's novel, we deferred all comment until the work was published. It now appears so certain that it will be read, whatever may be our critical opinion, that it would be superogatory to offer it.

TO CORRESPONDENTS The Working of the System.-If the worst consequence of "the system" was the misleading some dozen or two of idlers into the purchase of a few dull books, we would not write another word upon it; but it brings down ruin upon the country booksellers. The letters we receive, offering facts in proof of this, would make our readers' hearts ache; but as the writers are generally dependent, in some way or other, on the great London houses, and dare not have their names known, we cannot avail ourselves of their communications. happens, however, that we have one now in our possession, which, in its straightforward simplicity, justifies all we have ever said, and will excuse us for any little tediousness with which we may occasionally dwell upon the subject. The writer is wholly unknown to How his letter came into our possession need not be explained; he regrets that he has not access to the London press, and cannot therefore object to the publication:"No. 9, Corn Market, Belfast, "22nd Sept. 1832. "SIR,-I now send your first instalment, and trust to be able to meet the others at the dates agreed on. My failure is, in a great measure, to be attributed to the extremely high prices of Colburn's new novels for my library, having, in a comparatively short period, paid nearly 4007., at the rate of 25s. 3d. a copy, for works that, in general, are not worth more than 7s. 6d. It is one of the most complete monopolies I at present know in any trade; and the system of letting the corps of novel-writers, who are now become the mere freebooters of the press, review and puff each other alternately, is one of the humbugs of the present day, which ought to be exposed; and which, had I access to the London press, I should have attempted ere now.

It is a consolation, however, (though it brings ruin on many like myself, in the first place,) that, like other evils, it will in the end work its own cure; and I should think it is already beginning to convince those at head-quarters, of the impolicy of continuing such a system, as there is now a good supply in the market of those lately-" Important"-"Highly Interesting," &c., new works, at 7s. 6d., their intrinsic value, and nearly the rate at which they should originally have been offered. "I am, Sir,

"Your obedient servant, "CORNELIUS HASSON." As the writer of this letter is most certainly known to the Publishing Proprietors of the Gazette, they can at once satisfy themselves that it is genuine. Poor Mr. Hasson talks of there being a good supply in the market, of the lately "important"-"highly interesting" new works, at 7s. 6d.; that may, indeed, be the price at Belfast; but after the first sale consequent on the puff preliminary, the price at which they are offered to the trade in London usually varies from eightpence to one shilling the volume. We shall some day publish a list of the number of copies, and the prices at which some of the most "interesting" and "invaluable" works have been sold.

Thanks to Omega; but the moral tone of his verses is at least questionable, and we decline.

S. and M. before our time.
Thanks to Maria Y.-Albert.
R. should send his name.

We regret that illness compels us to defer the further observations on the dramatic report, until next week.

In the press, and will be ready in a few days, in 2 vols. 8vo. with 11 Maps and Plans, ISTORY of the GREEK REVOLUTION. By THOMAS GORDON, F.R.S. The contest betwixt the Greeks and Turks has employed so many pens, that he who now ventures to write on that backeyed, and apparently exhausted subject, must begin by explaining b reasons for travelling over a beaten road, to which he caudot hope to attract public curiosity, since it is either satiated by pre ceding narratives, or drawn away towards more rerest and 18portant transactions: these reasons may be summed up in a few words. That momentary interest, which induced a suber of persous hastily to publish what they had seen or heard in Greece, exists no longer; but there is, and ever will be, a grave class of readers loving truth more than novelty, and desirous of becoming acquainted with the exact details of a revolution, that must take its place in the history of the world. As yet there is nothing calculated to satisfy their taste; for of the forty authors w the struggle in Greece has called forth, three or four alone have any claims to accuracy, and their labours were confined to svařt and isolated periods, and detached scenes of the war; neither are they always free from the influence of strong prejudices. Con ceiving that a day would come when a work more connected, and written on a larger basis, will be acceptable to literary we the author of the following pages has presumed to take upon himself the task of composing it; because, having served to the Greek army, and lived several years in close intimacy with the people of Hellas, he is indebted to the friendship of numero individuals who bore a distinguished part in their country's affair as well as to the kindness of his Philhellenic comrades, for a thentic materials, which are not likely either to survive the pre sent generation, or to fall in the way of others.

"At the same time, he has thought it his duty carefully to peruse all former publications on the topic of Greece, neither affecting to differ from his predecessors, where they are correct nor admitting anything upon their authority, unless when assared of its exactitude by his own observations, or by collating oral and MS. evidence worthy of credit. His study, in short, has been, by clearing away exaggeration, rectifying errors and anachronismS, and supplying omissions, to represent the Greek Revolution as it really was."-Author's Preface.

ADDITIONAL NOTICES of No. VII. for OCTOBER. We bail with unbounded satisfaction the opening article in this number of Tait's patriotic and popular Magazine; in which the merits of the Ministry, and the patriotism of the people, are placed in their true light.-Cheltenham Journal.

The Ministry and the People' is a powerful article; Blanche Rose' is a beautifully told tale; and Tait's Commonplace-book' is equal to any thing of the kind we have seen.-Dundee Courier.

The articles on Rousseau and Shelley are distinguished by a spirit of candour and of philosophical inquiry, and by a percep tion of the beautiful and the true, quite refreshing in these com. monplace times. The political articles are, as usual, distinguished for nerve, honesty, and the most fearless independence. The Ministry should ponder well on the truths and the warnings contained in The Ministry and the People.'-Aberdeen Journal. We cannot refrain from expressing our warmest approbation of the spirit and talent Tart displays. The article The Ministry and the People' has our entire approval.-Carlisle Journal, This subject (the position of the Ministry) is admirably treated in the article The Ministry and the People.' On the general merits of this Magazine the public judgment appears to be made up. It is now considered as an established periodical, occupying a high station among its contemporaries. Its honesty of purpose has even extorted a tribute of praise from its political opponents. -Glasgow Trades' Advocate.

This work fully keeps up to its promise, and is decidedly improving. We earnestly recommend the article Ireland and Scotland' to every one who takes an interest in the welfare of Ireland, or, indeed, of the empire.-Brighton Herald.

Our favourite periodical, Tait's Maguzine, stands too high in our estimation to be aspersed with the commonplace of compliment. We read each number, however, with edification and delight; and the copious extracts we made prove how fully we estimated the value of the work. Let our readers peruse the admirable paper on Ireland in the 19th, and Scotland in the 17th century, and say, is it any wonder that we are sometimes so warm in our eulogy of Tait's Magazine!-Newry Examiner.

This spirited Magazine has reached its seventh number, and acquired, in six months, a fame which its rivals of a much longer standing may well envy. The articles in the present number are of superior excellence. The article on the Ministry is an honest and fearless expose of their political delinquencies; and the articles on Shelley, Rousseau, and Bentham, are evidently the productions of masier hands.-Bristol Mercury.

This periodical appears to be rising rapidly in public favour; and we see its opinions quoted and referred to as an authority by some of the most influential of the daily press. The article on The Ministry and the People' completely illustrates our own opinion of public men. It is severe; but we wish we could add that it is not literally true.-Essex Independent.

We extract from that admirable periodical, Tail's Edinburgh Magazine. Hereford Times.

Favourable notices have also appeared in the Morning Chronicle, Sun, True Sun, and others of the metropolitan press; also in many of the provincial papers besides the above.

Tait's Magazine for this month displays its accustomed variety of power and talent, and maintains its high station among the organs of liberal principles. Its lighter articles, in this nuniber, are more than usually interesting.— Aberdeen Herald.

This periodical is distinguished for the ultra-liberalism of its political principles, and for nervous and argumentative writing. Its leading article, The Ministry and the People,' is remarkable for these qualities.-Derby Mercury,

READFUL CALAMITY.--The Shetland Islands have been visited with an awful dispensation of Providence. The fishermen, while engaged in their usual occupation at a great distance from land, were suddenly overtaken by a hurricane of unprecedented violence, even in that tempestuous region. Some were fortunate enough to gain the shore; others were picked up at sea by passing vessels; many were doomed to a watery grave. Seventeen boats sunk under the fury of the elements; and of 108 men, who composed the crews, and who had left their homes full of hope and joy, not one returned to tell the tale of their disaster. To describe the distress occa sioned by this frightful loss of life would be a needless task. When the simple fact is stated, that these ill-fated mariners have left nearly EIGHTY WIDOWS and SEVERAL HUNDRED CHILDREN exposed to all the evils of extreme poverty, aggra vated by the rigours of a northern winter, the details of the picture of wretchedness will readily present themselves to the most unreflecting mind. To afford anything like adequate assistance to so many sufferers, is far beyond the very limited means of the community to which they belong. An appeal is therefore made in their behalf to the generosity of their fellow-subjects, whose lot is cast under a milder sky, and whom a bountiful Providence has blest with the comforts of life, in the hope that out of their abundance they will spare a mite towards the relief of those desolate families who have now no support but that which they may derive from the charity of the benevolent.
